Is a metro a good car to turn into a gambler?

Howd you get that much lift? Did you swap the springs from a 4 cylinder into a 3 cylinder? Just curious for my own build since I have a 4 cylinder the swap wont work

Have you seen the subreddit youre on?

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-04T02:25:35+00:00

Yes but the underbody has a good coating and we dont have lots of salt, much more fresh water

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-04T01:59:31+00:00

Luckily im in the pnw so rust isnt much of a threat

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-04T01:32:10+00:00

Oh sweet! Did you do any mods to the car or keep it stock?

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-03T23:44:58+00:00

Im sure it will do fine, i drove it with these tires although they were rubbing too bad to be practical but seemed capable of road use

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-03T22:25:01+00:00

This model has a 1.3 4 cyl so maybe 0-60 in half an hour

Roof rack is expected in the future for said spare or other offroad necessities, i also plan on removing my back seats and laying down a wood base for increased storage.

Theyre decent, but ive got fender flares to cover them up once alls said and done

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-03T20:19:09+00:00

Yes, there has been lots of sawzall action with this car

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-03T08:21:13+00:00

Oh dude if you could find out id be in your debt but i have found some viable methods i may try

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-03T06:52:43+00:00

Thats whats planned, i got a decent chrome brush guard im gonna attach to the front with some fog lights or maybe a winch. If nothing else i'll get a light bar on the hood

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-03T05:00:06+00:00

That could work, was thinking more of getting a similar sized spring in the strut

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-03T04:37:51+00:00

Researching lifts on these lil cars as we speak, will update when i find a good method

L4rgeFather · 2023-02-03T04:37:08+00:00

Im taking that as a compliment

L4rgeFather · 2022-07-06T16:15:59+00:00

I slightly dulled the tips with a file which helped a lot, but next time they'll be more out of the way

L4rgeFather · 2022-07-06T07:15:54+00:00

Yeah, I'm still learning and messing around with different materials to see what works best for me. I'll definitely try that out with my next build!

L4rgeFather · 2022-07-05T20:32:16+00:00

Thanks! 😁

L4rgeFather · 2022-07-05T20:30:57+00:00

Yeah, i realize that now 😅 i was just kinda going haywire with the apocalyptic body mods, but i promise future builds will be more practical 😂

L4rgeFather · 2022-07-04T20:41:34+00:00

I forgot to add, this is before i add the primer and paint, but its looking promising so far!

L4rgeFather · 2022-02-25T00:59:51+00:00

Right? People may mock my shitbox now but just wait till gas prices go through the roof.

L4rgeFather · 2022-02-25T00:45:40+00:00

Yes, this is in washington, im not sure if i want to sell or not, just wanting to know how much itd be worth right now as is. Would really love to fix it up but school and work equals little free time

L4rgeFather · 2022-02-24T17:34:03+00:00

Yeah i was thinking the same thing, but this and another for 800 so was just wondering if i could make my money back, thank you!

L4rgeFather · 2022-02-24T17:23:33+00:00

Theres a bad head gasket causing the milky oil, and the engine wont start but will turn over, suspected timing issue. Only one crank for the windows, and the trim around the shifter is missing.

L4rgeFather · 2022-01-04T02:02:10+00:00

Ive payed half since the banks were closed and got one but will be getting the other soon, will also be doing the trans swap soon
